I knew I forgot something crucial about my flight to Houston

Each seat had a video screen in front of it. Every screen was on. Many were tuned to different stations. The screens did not have any controls on them, no buttons, no nothing. There was nothing on the seat arms either. The front of each right arm did have a place to plug something in, but the staff didn't have any. Not even for rent.

So for the entire 3 hours, mine was on ESPN, which on Friday was the all-NBA-finals-all-day channel. 2/3 of the coverage was on how badly the Warriors fell, and 1/3 was about whether Kawai will stay in Toronto.

It was torture.

Did you look for controls at the side of the seat, not on the arms but in the seat itself?
